1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention.

Related party exemption

The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

The company is a subsidiary of Langham Industries Limited. Consolidated financial statements of Langham

Industries Limited can be obtained from:

Revenue

Revenue represents sales of goods and services at invoice value less trade discounts allowed and excluding value added tax. Revenue is recognised upon despatch of goods or when services are performed.

Revenue includes foreign exchange gains in relation to overseas sales of £22,451 (2023 - £51,371).

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment assets are held at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its useful economic life.

Plant and machinery - 10% to 25% on cost

At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is any indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income statement.

If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Inventories

Raw materials are valued at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to complete and sell and due allowance is made for obsolete and excess inventories.

Work in progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost, including relevant works overheads, and fair value less costs to complete and sell.

Inventories are accounted for on a first-in-first-out basis.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the financial reporting date. Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to sterling at the exchange rates ruling at the date of transaction. Gains and losses arising in the normal course of trade are included in the income statement.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets acquired under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised, with finance charges being written off to the income statement over the term of the agreement. Payments under operating leases are written off to the income statement when incurred.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company is a member of the Langham Industries Group Personal Pension Plan. This Plan is a money purchase scheme and contributions payable for the year are charged to the income statement. Assets for the Plan are held in separate trustee administered funds.

Amounts recoverable on contract

Revenue is recognised on contracts where the company has obtained a right to consideration. Revenue recognised in this manner is based on an assessment of the fair value of the goods and services provided at the balance sheet date as a proportion of the total value of the contract. Provision is made against unbilled amounts on those contracts where the right to receive payment is contingent on factors outside the control of the company. Unbilled revenue is included in debtors.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors believe that this basis is appropriate because the company's ultimate parent company, Langham Industries Limited, has stated that it will provide financial support for the foreseeable future.

Financial instruments

The company has chosen to adopt the Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
